Olga U (ID: 0000005aa6de1237) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/11/2023 edit: excitement was short lived. Extension stopped working - everything I try to open is "not a valid gif file." I LOVE this extension! I'm an artist, and when I need to draw from an animated gif, I can just use this extention to pause/select the frames I need. (Instead of downloading & opening Photoshop and dealing with the layers menu.) Thank you *so much* for making this! A genuine Technology Good. (I was even able to download a .gifv file, which chrome insisted on converting to webp.)
